"Fifty Shades of Black" is yet another film in the idiotic teenager parody genre. This overused genre consists of many movies currently on IMDB's Bottom 100 list....with the likes of "Disaster Movie" (#1),"Epic Movie" (#12),"Date Movie" (#24),"Scary Movie V" (#50),"The Starving Games" (#44) and "Extreme Movie" (#99). "Fifty Shades of Black", incidentally, is #65 on this infamous list of badness. Unlike other films in this god-awful genre, this film is a parody of another film on the infamous Bottom 100 list, the original "Fifty Shades of Gray" (#92).
This film is a bit different from the other crappy parodies I mentioned above. It is more a silly version of the original film and is NOT a parody of a dozen or more other films (which the above garbage films all are). Also, not surprisingly, it's MUCH more sexually-oriented...as "Fifty Shades of Gray" was a highly sexualized story. But this is much more crude than I even expected...and crude and unfunny scenes were piled on atop the other! It also has a lot of content that might make the more left-leaning audience members cringe or become furious. The leading man in this film is rich and successful like the one in the original story...BUT because he's black (Marlon Wayans),he says he made his fortune selling crack and sucking....well...IMDB won't let me say more about that. This is NOT the most positive and uplifting sort of black man, that's for sure!
As far as the story goes, it's terrible....so terrible I found I much preferred the original film...which I still strongly dislike. Yes, they managed to make a worse version of an already terrible movie! Offensive, brain-numbingly stupid, crude beyond belief, and, sadly, a film marketed mostly towards younger folks (whose growing brains really don't need this!). Currently, this film is #65 on the Bottom 100....I think that is way, way too generous...especially after seeing the Florence Henderson (I am NOT kidding) sex scene!

So awful it makes you love "Fifty Shades of Gray" in comparison!
Black is back
The Wayans family have made a dubious reputation for making parody films and Marlon Wayans stars and co-writes this parody of Fifty Shades of Grey.
Hannah Steele (Kali Hawk) interviews successful business entrepreneur Christian Black (Wayans) and becomes enchanted with this womaniser, she finds herself in Christian's flashy apartment where he gives her a contract where she agrees to take part in S&M in his Red Room which is decked out with various sexual toys and implements. However it turns out that Christian Black is no good at sex, lasting mere seconds before climaxing and his manhood is very small.
The best part of this movie is when it rips off Whiplash which was good. As for the rest, the book Fifty shades of Grey is a parody in itself and this effort is too thin, too obvious and unfunny.
Disneyland for grownups
This is an urban spoof of the film "50 Shades of Grey." As expected the humor is crude. The jokes were hit and miss. The film seems forced as if they were rushed to get the film on tape and didn't bother to develop their jokes, instead relying on crude humor. Not nearly as good as Marlon Wayans' other works. There are some good lines, but not enough to carry the film.
Guide: F-bomb, sex, fake male nudity.
